Day 2 began with a taste test competition. Each team sent a representative to be blindfolded and taste the various ingredients, fruits, and vegetables.
We then visited the India Bazaar in Voorhees. We split up into groups and took part in a store wide scavenger hunt. Each group had to find a unique item and take a selfie with it. Hannah said that “it was fun to explore the store and see the different foods.” Our group had a few visitors on our excursion: Ms. De la Torre and Ms. Mishkin. Head Chef of Sage Dining, Ms. Mishkin, gave us an exclusive tour around the market, showing us how to use the new and exciting ingredients. A few students got to sample some prepared foods from the market. Parker Kimberly ‘20 shared that “the samosas were very delicious.”
Later today, we visited Coriander restaurant for a delicious cooking demonstration and lunch buffet. The chef, Vipul, cooked our meal on a table right in front of us. He shared lots of insightful and historical information about each ingredient he added to our dishes. To conclude our day, we ate from the buffet at the restaurant and sampled a traditional rice pudding dessert.
